A secret to snaring a woman with ease, heads-up single men

Single men, you are missing out on a motherlode. I’m going
to let you in on a secret. There is available to you a virtual trove of women
for the picking. Forget OKCupid or eHarmony. I have a much simpler solution.
But you need to just get over your issues about dressing in costume, and be
willing to step out of your comfort zone. You men ask women to wear sexy little
things all the time… so turnabout is fair play, and doing this is will pretty much set you up for a a sure thing if you do it right. If you do, you will find
yourself surrounded by admiring women. I guarantee you this. Why do I say this? Because I’ve spent the
past four days at the Oregon Regency Society’s regency retreat—and I know now
that this notion is not only my own. The retreat was 99% occupied by women this
first year, (although we are hoping there will be more men at the next one),
and there was a great consensus among the participants as we discussed things
by the fire in our dressing gowns. Single guys who dress Regency would find
themselves with no shortage of women swooning after them.

For example, one of the ladies’ husbands showed up on
Saturday for the ball. A large group of women were in the meeting hall taking a
dance workshop when he arrived, and he arrived in a shirt with high collar,
waistcoat, frock coat, top boots and top hat.
He came striding down the path and someone said: “Look! A Gentleman!”
and all the women erupted in gleeful squees and applause, and went running to
the window. He was no Hollywood actor,
he was an ordinary guy who was made hot by his costume, and all the women
melted into silly puddles at the sight of him.
If he had been into the dancing, his wife might have had to carry around
a big stick to beat the women away from him.

Take this as a heads-up, guys… This…

::Coff-coff HOT ahem coff::

…This right here is the pinnacle of the Regency-loving woman’s
fantasy. This is what she dreams of when she’s thinking about Mr. Perfect. Right here. And we’re not talking about Colin Firth… it doesn’t
matter what you look like, what your body type is… if you put on the
high-collars and the top boots, the women will be swooning like teenaged girls.
And god, if you bothered to display the gentlemanly manners and were willing to
do the English Country Dances, you would be likely competed over, hunted down
and violated… politely of course.
Because in all the discussions we had about this during the entire
retreat, it wasn’t ‘oh, it would be so romantic…’ no. It was, ‘oh that would be
so HOT… he’d just have to grow the sideburns and wear the shirt and I’d be all
over him’.

You guys who already have women who are also into the
Regency thing, but you refuse to participate, I am just saying… if you want
more nookie, you’d be well served in putting on the frock coat on occasion. It’s
the equivalent of your wife wearing the cheeky schoolgirl outfit or the French maid
with thigh-stockings and a crotchless panties.
Put on the outfit and just swagger into the room, lift your arm and point to the bedroom and say:
“Woman, get into my bed at once!” and I guarantee you she will go skittering to
bed, giggling with delight.

There are hordes of women out there who sop up the regency
novels like water. Any man with his head screwed on right would be taking
advantage of it. He’d be secretly buying costumes or patterns, having them made
to fit beautifully, ironing and starching collars, growing out his sideburns
and combing his hair forward. Any man who wants to be the center of female attention
needs to just get dressed in Regency costume, and show up at a Regency event.
Ask a few girls to dance, be stoic but slightly flirtatious and you will find a
girlfriend, and keep her. I’m just saying guys…::nodding:: This is privileged information, and I hope
you all choose to use it wisely. If you’re from Oregon, you are in luck, we
have a huge group here and lots of events… And it’s pretty estrogen-heavy, so
you won’t have too much competition.

Here is a blog-post on outfitting the Regency man -- it describes the costume from the period. You can use it to locate the pieces you need.
If you go to the ORS resources page, you can also contact some local costumers
to put you in something that is correct and well-tailored (the more authentic
you’ll look, the more women will drool).

Incidentally, we are looking for gentlemen who are
interested in military and male-related history from the period (1812,
Napoleonic, Naval Exploration, Louis & Clark). We want to build up the
events for the guys. So if you are
interested, email the Oregon Regency Society (orregency@msn.com)
and declare you interest. We need someone to head the drive to create
gentlemanly activities.

Just what *is* a Hungarican?

Hung-gə-reé-ken: A person who is born to a Hungarian parent and a Puerto Rican parent. It's a particularly potent, fiery mix that often produces less-than-sane offspring. It's probably because the child is raised believing his/her parents are Dracula and Charo.

The Hungarican Chick

A little about the Hungarican Chick

This particular Hungarican Chick is an artist, a writer, a mummy, a wife and property of two Jack Russell Terriers and a supposedly feral cat that likes to hairy up her dining room chairs.

Born in Colorado, raised in Belgium, a fleeting New Englander now living in Oregon, the Hungarican Chick has very shallow roots and seeks to dig them in somewhere. She speaks four languages, sings loudly in the car while driving, and thinks baby animals are the cure for all bad things.

Hungarican Chick is obsessed with the Regency period, Jane Austen, crafts, English sidesaddle and riding, making period costumes, writing, drawing 'potteresque' animals in bonnets, and gardening. She lives near Mount Hood in Oregon. She is a published author, a book reviewer and even dabbles in small-press publishing.

The Hungarican Chick is also the founder of the Oregon Regency Society; a reenactment group in the Pacific Northwest; focusing on the period between 1790 to 1820. She also founded the Regency Society of America, and helped new groups in other states get off the ground.

After eight years of struggling with fertility issues, being declined for adoption, and finally giving up, the Hungarican Chick is now mother to a little boy, born 11-17-12.
